This is not something arbitrary choosen. You have to restrict yourself to the 
Groups in the GROUPS file (locate GROUPS in your redhat since I don't have 
access to one). In Mandrake the best I can think of is:

Sciences/Astronomy
Sciences/Other
the latter is better, isn't it?

I don't know. It seems as if you needed to define a prefix somewhere. Can 
anyone help here? Muhammad Sameer? Karouri?...?
The question is: rpm -ba kprayertime.spec should run without root permissions 
but when run gives this error:
mkdir -p -- /usr/local/kde/share/doc/HTML/en/kprayertime
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/kde': Permission denied
make[3]: *** [install-nls] Error 1

No, wait :0 ... yep. This is the first time I configure an applet. Now, 
everything is OK with +/- 1minute as you pointed out.
/* We need l10n code to check for the locale (country and city) automatically, 
I don't think it's difficult with things like klocale */

* You need to add the USAGE file to the spec file so others will now about 
this lat/long issue.

* Is kprayertime-0.99/doc/en/index.cache file meaningful?!

* Configure KPrayerTime dialog box when open prevent me from clicking the 
Taskbar, K menu, ...

* Configure KPrayerTime dialog box has some text which is cut. e.g. the 'y' in 
'Next Time Only' and the base (bottom edge) of Arabic Numerals.


* Sometime you refer to the program as KPrayTime as in the USAGE and README 
files whereas the program is called KPrayerTime!

* kprayertime-0.99/doc/en/index.docbook
has an XML parsing error besides

* kprayertime-0.99/doc/en is not stated in the spec file and hence doesn't 
find its way to the documentation folder upon installation. Needs some 
cleaning also.
